Abstract: The influence of quenching temperature on the shape memory effect(SME)of the Fe-Mn-Si polycrystalline alloys and their martensitic transformation temperature have been studied.The SME of the hot-rolled specimen may be remarkably enhanced by selecting quenching temperature of 600—800℃.It has been shown that SME is influenced not only by the distribution of ε-phase morphology but also by its pre-existence.

Key words: shape memory effect, Fe-Mn-Si alloy, martensitic transformation
